It was Cavendish leaning against Sagan and Sagan's arm went out only
to maintain his balance.

No matter the reason why the arm went out, at the time the arm went out,
Cavendish was already falling on the right side.

So, arm has nothing to do with the crash.

Question is only whether Sagan knew that Cav is there when he moved
right...

Regarding keeping line, sprint was chaotic, Sagan is not only one that
whas changing the line.

But crush 1500m from finish, that was epic break through two riders

It doesn't matter if Sagan knew he was there or not. It is not a sprinter's responsibility to make room for a man behind him.

This was not simply a bad decision of the race jury, but an insulting one that makes you wonder what is going on. We've heard it said that this years course was planned with less climbing to try and break Team Sky and Froome's domination of the event.

I believe that courses should be changed so that they give all specialists a try at the yellow but I do not believe that any course should be purposely aimed at eliminating a team.
